Hey there! Here is a
link to my column this month, all about how vintage furnishings
and collections add soul to your home. I hope that you enjoy it and
feel inspired to search for pieces that speak to your personality
too. You’ll also find a list of some of my favorite local shops to
hit up for vintage treasure,
here.

What are the differences between a “decorated” home and an
authentic one? How can I make my home feel more like a reflection
of who I am, who my family is, and be less concerned with it just
looking pretty? These are the types of soul-searching questions I
have been pondering lately. Don’t be fooled, I also want my home to
look beautiful, but I want it to feel real, lived-in, and happy.
Not contrived. One of the ways I personalize my home is through
vintage furnishings.

This Sunday, in the Life section of the Sun, I’ll touch on the
idea of adding vintage soul to your home; how mixing furnishings
from different time periods give a home character and how
collections of vintage accessories speak to your personality. Even
refinishing an old piece creates a story and can imbue your
environment with authenticity. How does vintage inspire your life
at home?
